      William T. Sherman Shoudlve been 2 Galactic powers slugging it out in a galactic war. The Fledgling NR with its new fleets and established government, vs the struggling but still powerful Imperial Remnant. Would’ve been great. Maybe have Luke lead the New Jedi Order instead of giving up. Which was his entire thing in ROTJ he never gave up on his father coming back to the light side, even when obiwan and yoda said it was impossible. Then in the new canon his nephew has one bad dream about the dark side and he decides to try and murder him, give up being a Jedi, and give up on his new order. Ya know seems like the same person to me.

      cadbane bountyhunter Exactly! I too strongly oppose rampant American militarism, offensive wars, and the Republican Party’s stance on foreign policy. But Star Wars is fictional and it’s not supposed to convey political messages because that takes away from what Star Wars is. Furthermore, it’s unrealistic to compare galactic conflicts with the foreign policy of a single nation on a planet that hosts a species which have yet to set foot another planet and have only set foot on its own moon with twelve astronauts several times!

      Also, the GFFA's navy would be about twice as large as the NR's navy and would also consist of different types of ships entirely (Hapans, Imperials, and the advent of the scythe-class ships come to mind). There's also the change in Navy philosophy as the NR went from whatever was available to the New Class Program to the Star Defender program. Meanwhile, the GFFA shifted from the expensive Star Defender program to a set of less expensive but heavily armed compact capital ships.

      Quality wins in this case, also if a star destroyer with 10 turbolasers (no prices for guessing which) can destroy a ship that has more than 20 and have two giant cannons in front of it (Munificent frigate), I don't think it will have a chance against one that has 80 turbolasers (Nebula destroyer)

    So you could say it was the nature of the Empire, IE all of the politicking and backstabbing, as well as the overly politicized nature of Imperial Military High Command, that caused its otherwise massive and powerful fleet to be weaker and less effective than it should have been.
    Which, isn't all that outlandish or hard to believe if you look at history. Case in point, the Supreme Commander during the early stages of the Yuuzhan War, Sien Sovv, was a political appointee to the command instead of a military one. And while he would eventually prove himself capable of the job, he also presided over the loss of Courasunt. This was the problem the Empire had. It had a large and well equipped fleet, but far to many of its commanders were in command for political rather than military reasons. And that almost always ends badly.

      Not only that. The ISDs etc were mainly designed to envoke fear, so the repressed citizens of the galactic empire wouldnt rebell. But this was achieved at the expense of combat effectiveness. The imperial navy had huge flaws and wasnt as effective or dangerous as it looked like. Combined with partly incompetent personnel due to political fights within the empire and spreading corruption, the imperial navy was deeply flawed. This is one of the biggest reasons the rebel alliance was able to defeat this fascist dictatorship.

      leon fierce here’s the problem: Power generation. A Venator can’t be modified to the standard of 30 ABY tech because it lacks the reactor necessary to sustain more turbolasers. In order to modify the Venator up to current standards, you’d have to redesign the entire superstructure of the ship. At that point it isn’t even a Venator anymore. In terms of shielding it’s also a problem. Power generation for the advanced mon Cala shields, let alone the triple redundant ones require vast amount of energy the Venator simply couldn’t produce with its outdated hypermatter reactor. It also had an exposed Bridge, and a limited backwards firing arc for its main turbolasers. I love the Venator to death, but it is outdated compared to the secutor and Endurance, which were the next evolution of dedicated carrier. Even the FO in canon recognized the value of the Venator, but did not employ it. Instead they built an entirely different ship taking the best aspects of it while getting rid of its weaknesses via the superstructure redesign. What they got was the resurgent, a battleship as well as a carrier.

    If this went head to head with canon's Resurgent-class star destroyer that would be epic.

    I’d frankly argue the CIS had the best navy, their ships are all designed with modularity and tactical use in mind, not to mention them being manned by droids makes them phenomenal in groups/fleets, while the New Republic had thousands of races within their ships, they all have different weaknesses and strengths, droids don’t have this weakness.
    Along with the fact that the New Republic did not use their fleet, and technology, to their full power due to political and other restraints, while the CIS always used their fleet to the best they possibility could, they where fighting a force with outmatched them perhaps by a full order of magnitude, they had little choice, while the New Republic never pumped their ships out, excluding in wartime.
    I may be wrong in some of my statements, but it’s just a though, and opinion I have.

    I loved the video “ Battle of the dreadnoughts” and I was wondering if you were going to be making a short film series out of this or another completely different short film? P.s. who would you be in the Star Wars universe I be a grey Jedi temple guard

      I do believe he's planning on it, but things like that take lots of time and resources. I don't know for sure but I'd venture the one he did probably took the better part of a year. It's amazingly done, and it's definitely worth the wait though

    Greatest Navy of all time? Grand Admiral Thrawn begs to differ: he won countless victories over the new Republic and nearly destroyed it! At Bilbringi, until he was killed by Rukh, Thrawn was actually winning the battle! And let's not forget the TIE Defender - possibly the best starfighter of all time!

    Legends New Republic Navy also had tremendous senior officers like Ackbar, Bel Iblis and Antilles. Not to mention hot shot Farm Boy pilots like the Skywalker fella.
